What’s the word that’s kind of like eerie but also means terrifying in the way that Severance predicted the end of days that began with needing to wear N95s? This pre2020 novel by Ling Ma also explores how we share information, the inside scoop of book making, what city living is, and the impact of our memories.

Getting a little judgey every now and then can be good for judges and judgees alike. Reading I’m Judging You by Luvvie Ajayi Jones is good in the same way; it allows us to pause and really think about how we act and how we treat each other. Also, she makes up words, and I’m all for that.

I teach good sometimes.

Thanks to St. John’s Humanities Review for sharing three of my #poems in their Crashing The Canon issue.

Last summer, I went to an outdoor artsy festival at a brewery. That was my first encounter with @colored.colors . Almost a year later, I’ve read #poetry a bunch of times for #PoetsMeetMusicians at @lithologybrewing , I’ve spoken on a panel at @fireislandvines , I’ve had my poetry appear on an exclusive beer can, and now I host Sunday Funday Book Club at @hopsscotchny . The wonderfully creative people I’ve met along the way have inspired me and brought me so much joy. I hope I do the same for them. Incredibly grateful for #coloredcolors, my #creativecommunity, #longislandpoets, #longislandwriters, and the venues who continue to support us all.

Remember those movies? They’re back. Ann Cefola’s chapbook When The Pilotless Plan Arrives retells some classic speculative tales while also giving lessons in writing poetry. It’s a really unique little collection.
